Funny story kids. In the late 80s Stiv was in L.A. recording for us. At the same time a band called Crowbar Salvation was in the same studio, West Beach Recorders. Somehow the tapes were mis-labeled and given to Bomp along with a lot of other Bators tapes. Fast forward to 2003. Greg Shaw was trying to put together a comp of Stiv Bators material and found the mismarked tapes, played them and thought they were Stiv. Nobody noticed for 20 years until the band turned up! The band has requested we take the songs off the record when the existing copies are sold, so this will be rare!
